Jones had received a scholarship offer from the Green Wave
in the summer but didn't take it initially and Tulane eventually rescinded the
offer. However, Tulane extended Jones another one two weeks ago and he accepted
Thursday after meeting with Tulane Coach Curtis Johnson.

"They offered early on during the summer and I was kind of
unsure about it at first" Jones said. "I was worried about it. I had a gut feeling
that I should go to Tulane but I didn't make a move so they took my scholarship
back.

"But during the season, I took care of every situation I had
and they ended up giving it back and I just pulled the trigger."

Jones caught 35 passes for 572 yards and six touchdowns this
past season in helping St. Augustine make it to the Division I semifinals.

Former St. Augustine player Sydie London also plays tight
end for the Green Wave and Jones said watching London played a role in wanting
to commit to Tulane.

"It caught my attention when I saw what Sydie was doing and I
thought I could do some of the same things," Jones said. "I knew that they run
a pro-style offense and I liked that so I took advantage of it while I could."
